SEBRING, Fla. (February 21, 2002) -- Entries from factory Cadillac and
Ascari racing teams have bolstered the Prototype class for the 50th annual
Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, presented by Dodge, which will be run at
Sebring International Raceway on March 16.

The sleek and exotic Prototypes are the fastest cars in the American Le
Mans Series, which will kick off its 2002 season at Sebring.

Team Cadillac has entered a pair of Cadillac Northstar LMP02 machines in
the Golden Anniversary edition of America's oldest sports car race. In its
third year of involvement in sports car racing, Cadillac has an all-new car
that will make its racing debut at Sebring.

Eric Bernard of France, JJ Lehto of Finland and Emmanuel Collard of England
will share the driving duties of the #7 Cadillac, while the #8 will be
driven by Wayne Taylor of Altamonte Springs, Fla., Max Angelelli of Italy
and Christophe Tinseau of France. Taylor (1996) and Lehto (1999) are former
overall winners of the Sebring classic.

Team Ascari, affiliated with the British road car company, has also entered
two cars in the Prototype class. The Ascari KZR1 machines will be powered by
Judd engines as the company makes its American Le Mans Series racing debut
at Sebring.

T.J. Bell of Sparks, Nev., will co-drive the #19 Ascari with Werner
Lupberger of England, while Ben Collins and Christian Vann, both of England,
will be the drivers for the #21 Ascari.

Upwards of 50 cars are expected to compete in the event at the 3.7-mile
Sebring International Raceway, including cars in the Prototype 900 and 675,
GTS and GT classes. Rinaldo Capello, Laurent Aiello and the late Michele
Alboreto won last year's event in an Audi R8 Prototype. Audi has been the
overall winner the past two years.

Sebring International Raceway, built on the site of a former World War II
bomber training base, will hold a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the
12-hour event. Many of the former winning drivers and cars from past
editions of the event will be on hand to take part in the festivities, with
the cars on display for most of the week of the event.
